I just wanted to make a stupid Python developer joke. A few hours later: ✅ A complete song ✅ A video clip ✅ A new video editing software learned ✅ A mysterious 4-hour image bug solved 🤣 Prompt: "Write a humorous song for Python developers in English, inspired by the disco groove of the late 70s." First attempt. No editing. Honestly, Suno is quite impressive. Starting lyrics: At first, I was scared, petrified, I thought I couldn't code with Python by my side. ... Now you're back, From cyberspace. And I find you here, With that traceback on your face. 🐍💻🎵 I will survive but not the same melody #Python #Programming #SunoAI #CodingHumor

And Python spake unto Nicolas, saying: "Take and eat of the Fruit of Refactoring, for thou shalt become like the developers, knowing good code and bad code." And Nicolas took of the fruit and did eat. And his eyes were opened. And he beheld his code, and saw that it was naked. And he covered it with comments, TODOs, FIXME notes, and temporary patches. And Python called unto Nicolas: "Where art thou?" And Nicolas answered: "I hid myself in Scientific_search19.py, for my file had become 1405 lines long, and I was afraid." And Python said: "Who told thee that thy code was naked? Hast thou eaten of the Fruit of Refactoring, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?" And Nicolas said: "The serpent beguiled me, and I refactored." And Python was silent. Then Nicolas lifted up his eyes from the monitor. And behold, the sun had risen. And he looked upon himself and saw that he was naked upon his sofa. And he knew not at what hour he had removed his trousers. For he had dwelt all night in the Garden of MetaSearch. Then Nicolas was ashamed. And he put on his pyjamas. And he wrote an EULA. And he declared unto all users: "Thy preferences shall not be deleted during updates." And the physicians saw that it was good. 🐍💻📜

Imagine a three-star restaurant. You visit once. It was exceptional. The next day, the chef calls you. Then again two days later. Then he sends you photos of sausages at 7 a.m. Then another reminder that you haven't booked a table recently. At some point, even the finest cuisine becomes spam. Newsletters work the same way. Subscribing doesn't mean: "Send me something every few days." It means: "Let me know when you genuinely have something worth sharing." ⭐⭐⭐ Rarity creates anticipation. Excess creates indifference.

Code is written once, but read many times. The more I work on MetaSearch, the more I realize that writing code is only part of the job. A feature may work perfectly today, but six months later you'll need to understand why it was written that way. Good documentation saves hours of frustration. Another lesson I've learned: users don't follow the path developers imagine. A developer thinks: Open Help Close Help Open Preferences A real user might: Open Help Open About Open Preferences Open Load Profile Go back to Help The feature works. The question is: what happens when someone uses it differently than expected? Many improvements don't come from fixing broken code. They come from testing plausible but unexpected user behavior. Because users don't read the code. They explore the consequences of the code. A QA engineer is someone who asks for a bear when everybody else asks for a beer. Unexpected feature discovered while shopping for groceries. 🐻🍺😆

Schrödinger’s cat finally chose a vehicle. The destination remains uncertain.

When something seems extremely complicated, check the simplest hypothesis first. — Conversation with ChatGPT, 2026

1992: Sulfuric acid. Industrial presses. Thinner in the eyes. Darkroom chemicals. No mask. No goggles. “Keep working.” 2026: Mandatory e-learning before adjusting your office chair. Protective glasses for the monitor. Yellow anti-fatigue screen filter. Anti-cut gloves for the keyboard. Progress. 🤣

Don’t worry if some job offers are looking for a: • Junior Python AI Full Stack DevOps UX Cybersecurity Prompt Engineer • 20 years of experience • Born after 2000 • Fluent in EN/FR/NL/DE/ES/IT • PhD appreciated • Salary: €2,000 gross Sometimes it’s not that companies expect too much from you. Sometimes the job post was simply written on a Friday at 5:59 PM by someone who just wanted to go home and enjoy the weekend. 😉 And sometimes, they’re not looking for a human. Just an underpaid legendary Pokémon.

My speech-to-text system keeps turning “Jan” into “Yann”. To be fair, he was born near the Belgian coast, so maybe the AI detected hidden Breton energy. 😄

My old HDD claimed he was a Knight Who Says: “click… tic tic… CLICK…” No prototype lost. Only precious memories. “’Tis but a flesh wound.” The Black Knight of failing storage 😄

Computer science vocabulary is basically: cookie → bakery daemon → eternal damnation thread → emergency hotline fork → Alien cloning accident / kitchen utensil pipe → René Magritte territory socket → missing light bulb pipeline → bring your coffee of your choice Meanwhile developers: “Perfectly clear terminology.” 😎🐍 #devlife #programming #python #linux #computerscience #codinghumor

People sometimes ask where my old nickname “tatactic” comes from. It goes all the way back to the very beginning of public internet access and old dial-up modems. At the time, I spent HOURS trying to invent a nickname nobody else would ever use. I wanted something : - rhythmic, - slightly absurd, - inspired by old French humorists like Bourvil and Bobby Lapointe, - and somehow… sounding a bit like a modem trying to connect to the internet. trrrr… tic-tic-tic-tac-tic-tic… Back then, loading a tiny image could take forever and nobody could use the phone while you were online. 😄 I never expected to keep that nickname for decades, but somehow it survived all the way from the early internet era until today. If you recognize this sound instantly, congratulations: your back probably hurts too now. 😄 youtube.com/watch?v=yQ_hWS6k…

GuidoShakespearian like: “Thee mixed pack() with grid() in the same container, thou fool.” 😄 O thou, Guido My Lord! May thy grid() never conflict with thy pack(), may thy indentation remain righteous, and may no rogue """ rise again from the shadows of __pycache__. #Python #Tkinter #DevLife

My speech-to-text just merged French, English, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic into one sentence. At this point I’m no longer prompting AI. I’m improvising multilingual jazz with Firefox. 🤣 If you're looking for a multilingual profile, you may hire my ASUS.

STT: How to write an effective AI prompt: Bonjour, I need un système efficace pour tooltip management avec adaptive positioning because 沒 overflow is bad UX. まってやるね if the mouse exits the widget.

Hit the wrong note. Prepared to debug. Rewrite. Fix everything. …people clapped. Not a bug. Just undocumented behavior. (meow.)
